Heliconia

August 14, 2010 - 9" x 12" Acrylic on canvas


This painting is from a photo I took at Waimea Gardens on the North Shore of Oahu last March. The plant is very large and the flower is about seven feet off the ground. It is sometimes called a false bird-of-paradise.

I again used the Liquitex paints and frankly, I can't get used to them. They're thinner than I'm used to and since I don't paint fast, it really thins out on the Sta-Wet Pallette. I'm going back to Golden.
